Tour at a glance:
This tour itinerary takes visitors to four exceptional homes in the charming Accomack County towns of Accomac and Onancock as well as to two widely admired colonial plantations in Northampton County. An important Bay-side port since 1680, Onancock is a lively enclave of colorful shops, restaurants and architecturally diverse residences. In contrast, a seemingly timeless tranquility pervades Accomac, the county seat since 1677, with a National Historic District comprised of more than 150 buildings.

Special Event:
Tour day exhibit and sale by the Eastern Shore Art League and the Eastern Shore of Virginia Artisans’ Guild will take place on the Accomac Courthouse Green, located on the corner of Front Street and Courthouse Avenue.
